The Voice UK will return to ITV next year – with trios able to audition for the first time alongside the usual solo acts and duos.

ITV Studios Creative Director Katie Rawcliffe said of the new change: “We know there are many talented trios out there across the UK and we want to offer them the chance to show off their vocal harmonies on The Voice UK stage."

"Bringing in the trio element will present a new sound that could shake everything up," said Sir Tom Jones. "We’ll have to see of course, but whether it’s a solo singer, a duo or a trio, I’m hoping to find someone with that special spark.
